The Boilermakers will play Montana on Nov. 25 and Florida Gulf Coast on Nov. 26, with game times still to be determined. James Madison, Iowa and Virginia Tech also are competing in the same bracket as Purdue, but the Boilermakers play just the two games.

Fans will have the opportunity to purchase tickets for the semifinals and final should Purdue also play host to those games. Purchases will be refunded if the Boilermakers do not host the semifinal and final rounds.
